I mounted my Hella 500's on the plastic part of the grill, they shook, so yesterday I fabbed up a nice light bar to hold them and bolted it all together, just like others do. And they still shake/flicker! why is this? Do they shake/flicker when you mount them on a (nfab)light bar like in front of the grill? What needs to be done so they dont shake anymore..or atleast so I'm confident in using them

my passenger side does too even though its mounted just like the driverside which is super stable. im just going to live with it.

Got a pic of how yours are mounted? I mean I understand the lights will probably shake cuz they won't be perfect like headlights, I just want as minimal shaking as possible you know..and I did it basically like everyone else does here, and I don't see them complaining about the lights shaking

My lights also shook and I had to fab up something to hold the bottom of the light down to plus the top. But after a little while they started shaking again so I went with one of Tims light bars. His light bar works great and my lights never shake now even while off-roading!!

Having two small L brackets will shake. You may think by looking at them that they could not possibly bend but they will. I have tried that on many trucks in the past. You need a bracket that is one piece going across the front of the radiator. A 2" x 1/8" piece of angle aluminum works nicely. Just like the above pic except you can use plain angle aluminum.

Here are a few pics. I used a 3" x 2" angle alum. bar. I can go close to the Grillcraft grill I have now or move them back for a Satoshi grill. The bar is mounted to the existing radiator support bolts. It is rock solid.

I had my hella 500s mounted to the two thick plastic parts that hold the grill and shroud to the radiator it wits good bit if I had any smaller of lights I would def had spent the money and got that cool little bracket thing.
